POSTURAL SWAY AND GAIT OF CHILDREN WITH CONVERGENT STRABISMUS

Postural sway and gait of 35 children with convergent strabismus were tested and compared with those of a control group. They were found to have a short stride‐length and single‐limb support time in walking, particularly at slow speeds. The girls had a large postural sway, but not the boys. The results suggest a common visuomotor disturbance of eye and limb motor‐control.
